Girl Meets Dress launches their new maternity dresses and takes you through the best picks for an elegant style. 

Kate Middleton has been flying the flag for chic maternity dresses ever since she first started showing earlier this year. But now that Zara Phillips has announced her pregnancy, there’s another fashion competitor in the field.  Known to be a fan of Alice and Olivia, Burberry and Herve Lenger, Zara Phillip’s maternity style is sure to be an interesting one. Whilst some may say she’s had more misses than hits with her fashion choices, when she gets it right she’s a force to be reckoned with. Although Zara hasn’t given any hint of what she plans to wear during her pregnancy, we can only speculate as to the pregnancy dresses she might wear.

Looking for a maternity dress for a party or special event? Girl Meets Dress have a fantastic new range of maternity dresses to rent from only £29. Zara’s social events calendar is always full so she’s sure to be looking for some comfortable evening wear. Butter by Nadia is the innovative collection by American designer Nadia Tarr. Her work stems from the idea that “one size fits all” as all of Nadia’s range is made from lightweight rayon and spandex material that moulds to fit your body shape. The ultimate versatile outfit, these dresses are sure to flatter any pregnancy bump – no matter what stage you’re in!

Staying stylish whilst attending summer events – where the weather can often be unpredictable – is something Zara knows how to do best. We’ve got some great dresses to rent for the perfect maternity style this summer. Sexy and sophisticated, Crave Maternity have created some stunning designs that are sure to compliment any shape. Why not hire a maxi dress for your summer event? Both Madderson London and Dynasty’s beautiful full length gowns are elegant and classic, and come in an array of flattering colours.
